Virtual PC / XP
Running Win 7 Profesional on a fairly decent computer using a CPU that supports virtualization you can download & install XP (from MS) as a virtual computer. Very easy to do.
Using Calibrre on Win 7 I get; ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>x_wmi</b>:-0x7ffbefed - OLE error 0x80041013 Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\config\device_debug. py", line 41, in debug File "site-packages\calibre\devices\__init__.py", line 66, in debug File "site-packages\wmi.py", line 703, in query File "site-packages\wmi.py", line 189, in handle_com_error x_wmi: -0x7ffbefed - OLE error 0x80041013 OK I know that there is no real fix for that, but when I run Virtual PC / XP I get; Version: 0.6.32 USB devices on system: [u'usb\\vid_054c&pid_031e&rev_031a'] Drives detected: (ID, Partitions, Drive letter) ('IDE\\DISKVIRTUAL_HD_____________________________ _1._1____\\5&35DC7040&0&0.0.0', 0, u'C:\\') ('USBSTOR\\DISK&VEN_SONY&PROD_PRS-600&REV_1.00\\0800461000C1EAE0&0', 1, u'E:\\') ('USBSTOR\\DISK&VEN_SONY&PROD_PRS-600_LAUNCHER&REV_1.00\\0800461000C1EAE0&3', 4, u'H:\\') ('USBSTOR\\DISK&VEN_SONY&PROD_PRS-600_MS&REV_1.00\\0800461000C1EAE0&1', 'No mount points found') ('USBSTOR\\DISK&VEN_SONY&PROD_PRS-600_SD&REV_1.00\\0800461000C1EAE0&2', 3, u'G:\\') Looking for HANLINV3 Looking for HANLINV5 Looking for BLACKBERRY Looking for CYBOOKG3 Looking for ILIAD Looking for IREXDR1000 Looking for JETBOOK Looking for SHINEBOOK Looking for KINDLE Looking for KINDLE2 Looking for KINDLE_DX Looking for NOOK Looking for PRS505 Looking for PRS700 Looking for PRS500 Looking for ANDROID Looking for N770 Looking for N810 Looking for CYBOOK_OPUS Looking for COOL_ER Looking for ESLICK Looking for NUUT2 Looking for IRIVER_STORY Looking for POCKETBOOK360 Looking for GER2 Looking for ITALICA Looking for ECLICTO Looking for DBOOK Looking for BOOX Looking for EB600 Looking for README Looking for N516 Devices possibly connected: The line below "Devices possibly connected:" is not cut off. It's just blank. Database integrety is ok - no problem. Is there any hope of running calibre? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ P.S. - Windows Virtual PC mode is at; http://www.microsoft.com/windows/vir.../download.aspx if anyones interested. Works REALLY GREAT. |

"Save to disk", "drag and drop" does get the books to the Sony reader. But to use any other type of organization on the reader it seems to be calibre or the truly awful Sony software.
